Inventor: NICHOL JAMES WILLIAM
IPC: B27B21/00
Filed: 2001-11-23
Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus used in the assembly and structure of tables, benches, sawhorses, and scaffolds. In particular, the invention discloses a U-beam top joint with lumber end portion gripping means used in combination with a U-beam splay bar, which are used in pairs or greater multiples to hold pieces of lumber in the required position to form the desired structure. The U-beam top joint with lumber end gripping means comprises at least one U-beam adapted to support a cross-beam of horizontal lumber to form the top of the structure, and affixed to inward facing angled end brackets to fit a top portion of each of a pair of angled lumber legs flanking the cross-beam lumber top.       The U-beam splay bar comprises at least one U-beam having at each end thereof two angled outward facing end brackets adapted to fit a middle portion of the pair of angled lumber legs. The combination can be readily transported to a recreation or construction site and used to assemble a picnic table, bench, sawhorse with lumber fence, bench, scaffold or like structure with available lumber, cut to form the desired height for the structure. The U-beam top joint with lumber end gripping means and the U-beam splay bar interact with the lumber legs and cross-beam such that an increase in load on the cross-beam causes a proportional increase in the rigidity and stability of the structure. The U-beam top joint and the U-beam splay bar each have side lumber brackets by which multiple top joints and splay bars can be linked to each other.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the analysis and determination of the nature of single nucleic acid polymorphisms (SNPs) in a genetic target. In one method of this invention, the nature of the SNPs in the genetic target is determined by the steps of providing a plurality of hybridization complexes arrayed on a plurality of test sites on an electronically bioactive microchip, where the hybridization complex includes at least a nucleic acid target containing an SNP, a stabilizer probe having a sequence complementary to the target sequence and/or reporter probe, and a reporter probe having a selected sequence complementary to either the stabilizer or the same target sequence strand wherein a selected sequence of the reporter includes either a wild type nucleotide or a nucleotide corresponding to the SNP of the target. In accordance with the invention, the stabilizer, reporter and target amplicons are hybridized using electronic assistance of the microchip system such that base-stacking energies are utilized in discerning among other identifying indicators, the presence of wild type or polymorphism sequence. Applications include disease diagnostics, such as for the identification of polymorphisms in structural genes, regulatory regions, antibiotic or chemotherapeutic resistance conferring regions, or for SNPs associated with speciation or used for determination of genetic linkage.

IPC: H03D11/04
Filed: 2000-06-01
Abstract: The invention provides an AM receiver (10) incorporating an antenna (12), a transistor (14), a current source (16) and a power supply (18). The antenna (12) is connected to a gate electrode (14g) of the transistor (14) and throu gh a link (20) to a signal earth. In operation, the antenna (12) receives radiation and generates a corresponding input signal which propagates to the  gate electrode (14g). The transistor (14) is operable to process the input signal in two steps, namely to reflectively amplify the input signal to generate a correspondingly reflectively amplified input signal at the gate electrode (14g) in a first step, and amplitude demodulate the amplified inpu t signal in a second step. The transistor (14) is operable in a non-linear region of its current/voltage characteristic whereat it simultaneously provides reflective amplification and signal demodulation, namely the two steps occur simultaneously. In contradistinction, conventional demodulators employing gain devices operating non-linearly to provide amplitude demodulation incorporate the devices configured to function as transmission amplifiers.

Title: A programmable timer unit for use in a remote control load management system
Inventor: TOKIZANE TOSHIAKI
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2002-04-16
Abstract: An improved programmable timer unit can be incorporated into a remote control management system to actuate loads according a user's defined schedule without relying upon any additional supplementary device for data communication. The timer unit includes an input section for selecting a switch address of any switch employed in the system and a schedule specifying the actuation time and the control code for actuation of the target load or loads. A processor makes up a load management program based upon the schedule and executes the program for control of loads. Thus, the timer unit can alone emulate any one of the switches for controlling loads without relying on additional external device for the data communication.

Patent CA-2400022-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HIBBS BART D
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 2001-02-07
Abstract: This disclosure provides a solar rechargeable aircraft (10) that is inexpensive to produce, is steerable, and can remain airborne almost indefinitely. The preferred aircraft is a span-loaded flying wing, having no  fuselage or rudder. Traveling at relatively slow speeds, and having a two- hundred foot wingspan that mounts photovoltaic cells on most all of the wing 's (12) top surface (42), the aircraft uses only differential thrust of its propellers (16) to turn. Each segment of the wing has one or more motors (14 ) and photovoltaic arrays (32), and produces its own lift independent of the other segments, to avoid loading them. Five two-sided photovoltaic arrays, i n all, are mounted on the wing, and receive photovoltaic energy both incident on top of the wing, and which is incident also from below, through a bottom, transparent surface. The aircraft includes hinges and actuators capable of providing an adjustable dihedral for the wing. The actuators can be motors o r control surfaces. Alternately, the actuators can be movable masses within th e wing, which may be capable of deforming the wing to alter the aerodynamics o f the wing, and thereby actuate the hinges. Because of wing dihedral, the aircraft includes motors both above and below the center of drag, and the aircraft uses differential thrust to control aircraft pitch. The aircraft ha s a wide variety of applications, which include serving as a long term high altitude platform that serves to link a ground station using radio wave signals and a satellite using optical signals.
